Mustard-tasting in Dijon, wine-tasting in Beaune..it was a fun 2 days! I bought some cassis to bring back to the fam. That way, even if they buy semi-cheap white wine, you can make it so much better! I feel all educated about mustard and wine now. Unlike the wine-tasting in Rome, this was at a real place, with lots of really old, good, real Bourgogne wines! Not cheap wine from the supermacati down on the corner (that was still good though..just good table wine, not good aged wine). Though we didn't have the 1934 bottle that was 1 000 euro ( I KNOW!!! ) but we still had some tasty samples...at 11am. "Do you want to chink chink?" Haha. Is & Megan are basically awesome...and crazy.
Twas fun. Yesterday was Kaity's 20th, so we all went to dinner (very difficult in France..all the restaurants are so small, and we had a huge group!) Great food, owners are hilarious, good music, good times. Videos and will be online, soon I'm sure!
Back to the start of another week in Grenoble. Oh, and my trip is officially half over!! I can't believe it. Man, time flies! [Optional] mid-terms are coming up, Easter, SPRING BREAK (feels like winter break in Italy was just yesterday), etc! Oh, and I'm staying with Erika in Innsbruck, and Josh in Vienna! Et les deux sont gratuit! Woo!! Free places to stay are niiiiice. And a cheap hostel in Munich to meet up with Anton? Things are lookin' good! Kinda nervous about travelling by myself, but I know I can do it..just another challenge to overcome! Seems like a piece of cake now after all this. Plus, they speak English there..hehe. Gotta brush up on a little German though..any phrases I need to know Jesse??
Gros bisous, toute le monde!
